When he rides his tricycle, he always rings his bellmo. Bring Bring!

But now my song is over and it’s time to say it’s time to say it’s time to say it’s time to say 

    E 
Farewellmo! 

I think this song is about 90% correct, but it is good enough that you can play it for your kid and  
that was 
my goal. Enjoy!
